My herceptin bad reaction solved...
Well I met with my Oncologist today after 2 days of hell with aches, pains, fever and the most God awful pain in my right arm area. Last night I broke out in all these hive type bumps on that arm and breast. He seems to think I might have "shingles" and not a reaction at all to my Herceptin. I guess I will find out Monday when I get my next Herceptin. He put me on some antibiotics and steroids and already my arm is feeling better...sherryg683
